I usually split it up into two dpatches: eg. 10_foo.dpatch containing all
the manual changes, including those to Makefile.am, configure.in etc.,
and a 11_foo_fixup.dpatch comprising of the auto-generated changes to
Makefile.in, configure etc. Works quite well, and keeps interesting and
boring parts apart.
